This lens was specially developed for demanding photography with 35 mm SLR cameras. It impresses with a bright, clear image in the viewfinder and also guarantees brilliant image quality with a wide aperture. It is an ideal tool for portraits both in the studio and outside. The low depth of field at wide aperture enables you to visually isolate a scene through the targeted use of background blur. The special optical design and nine-blade diaphragm and virtually circular geometry deliver an outstanding bokeh. The Planar T* 1,4/85 ZA is almost distortion-free and is perfect for both analog and digital documentation photos. Floating elements ensure stable performance even up close. The fast auto focus also makes this lens perfectly suited to fast-moving animal and sports photography.

Great low-light shots start with a great lens for your SLR camera. A high-speed lens captures as much light as possible. A lens with a wide maximum aperture offers the best results in difficult lighting conditions.
The ZEISS ZA lenses are suitable for digital Sony Alpha cameras and have been optimized for film and sensors up to full 35 mm format (24 x 36 mm).
Photographers want to guide the observer through the image. Minimal depth of focus is often used as a design element. This keeps the background intentionally blurred to keep the attention of the observer on the main subject. These different representations of the blurred areas, as well as the quality of the transition, are referred to as the Bokeh of a lens. The finely tuned features of the optical design on ZEISS SLR lenses ensure a particularly harmonious effect of the blurred areas of the image. The nine diaphragm blades and the resulting, virtually circular aperture on ZEISS SLR lenses are crucial to favorable rendition of highlights in the fore and background.
All lens elements in SLR lenses from ZEISS feature the T*® anti-reflective coating and an optical design that produces brilliant pictures even in unfavorable lighting conditions. We vacuum deposit very thin, transparent coats on the surfaces of the lens elements to make them anti-reflective. Special substances, one by one, are vaporized with very high energy in a high vacuum, which are then deposited on the glass surface as a coating with precisely controlled thicknesses to achieve the desired reduction of reflections. The first coatings were applied by ZEISS back in the 1930s.

Oil Pressure Switch
The oil pressure switch, also referred to as an oil pressure sensor or an oil pressure sending or sender unit, monitors how many PSI your oil system is running and sends out a signal. A single vehicle can have more than one oil pressure sending unit.
In older vehicles, the oil pressure switch sends a signal to a gauge or light. If your car is equipped with an oil gauge you can see the status of the oil pressure. If you have a warning light it should light up when you start the car, shut off when oil pressure builds (as engine and oil pump turn), then only light again if a low oil pressure condition is detected.
On newer cars, the oil pressure sending units can send a signal to a gauge or light and/or also send a signal to the vehcile's computer. The signal to the computer would most likely lead to the computer shutting down the engine if low oil pressure is detected.
On new vehicles, an oil pressure switch is best diagnosed through the vehicle's on board diagnosis system. If you have an older vehicle and you are trying to diagnose a simple 1 wire sending unit to a gauge, you can ground the lead that goes to the oil pressure switch (unplug it and touch it to metal with the key on). This should cause your gauge to read at it's highest level. If the gauge does this, but when re-connected, with the engine running, reads zero then you either have a bad sending unit or no oil pressure.
At 1A Auto, we make shopping for a replacement oil pressure sensor for your car, truck, SUV or van easy - we're here to help you select the right part for your vehicle! Call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393 if you have any questions about our aftermarket oil pressures switches, warranty, compatibility or to purchase, or you can buy online.
Welcome to 1A Auto....
We employ USA based, knowledgeable support technicians. They'll help you through your project. We always make sure you get the right part. And we boast the industry's most generous returns policy. You won't find a company more passionate about auto parts than 1A Auto.

City Purchasing and Contracting Services
The Department of Finance and Administrative Services, City Purchasing and Contracting Services administers apprenticeship requirements on public works contracts. The City has determined that there is a need for increased training and apprenticeship opportunities in the construction industry and that a diverse and well-trained workforce is critical to the economy as well as the social vitality of the region.
As required by the provisions of Chapter 49.04 RCW, Chapter 296.05 WAC, and SMC 20.38.005 the City requires the use of apprentice labor on construction projects estimated to cost $1 million or greater. To meet this requirement, contractors must ensure that up to 15% of the total contract labor hours are worked by apprentices enrolled in an apprenticeship program approved or recognized by the Washington State Apprenticeship and Training Council (SATC).
Contract Requirements
Apprenticeship utilization and reporting requirements are incorporated into the general provisions of the construction contracts and are monitored by CPCS.
The Apprentice Utilization Plan, outlining how the requirements will be met, must be submitted at the pre-construction meeting, with revisions submitted as necessary throughout the life of the project. Quarterly EEO/Apprentice Utilization Forms must be submitted quarterly and at the end of the project. CPCS may provide assistance in directing the contractor to available resources for hiring apprentices. Apprentices who are not currently registered in a state-approved apprenticeship program will not be counted toward satisfying this contract requirement.

William Shakespeare – Sonnet 30Follow
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanished sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restor'd and sorrows end.

Saints Fall to Cougars 84-75 in PBC Play, Huffman Eclipses 500 Career Points
Story by Walker McCrary
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia women's basketball team dropped the rematch against the Columbus State Cougars 84-75 on Saturday in Memorial Hall in an extremely physical game.
The first half saw the Saints (8-13, 6-8 PBC) and the Cougars go back and forth. With 5:30 to play in the first half, Stephanie Huffman hit her fifth free throw in as many attempts to record her 500th career point at North Georgia.
The Saints led by two right before halftime before the Cougars went on a 7-0 run to close out the half.
The Cougars continued the run into the second half, extending the lead into double digits before North Georgia started to rally back behind Mimi Hill. The Saints got to with three with 10:46 remaining in the contest after Hill hit a layup.
North Georgia would not pull any closer, however, as Columbus State extended the lead to as many as 13 on their way to the win.
Hill led the way for the Saints, shooting 13-20 from the field and recording 30 points. Huffman finished with 16 points and Jaymee Carnes finished with 10. Carnes has now surpassed the 1,000 point milestone at North Georgia after hitting her first basket of the game just 30 seconds into the contest.
North Georgia shot close to over 47 percent, but hit just a quarter of their three point attempts in the loss.
North Georgia will look to rebound next week as they travel to Florence, S.C. to take on Francis Marion University on Thursday, Feb. 14. Tipoff is slated for 5:30 p.m.

AUSTIN -- Only one member of the Travis County Commissioners Court is calling for District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to resign.
Gerald Daugherty said it would be best for the community if Lehmberg quit.
During their meeting Tuesday morning, the county's legal office told commissioners they don't have the power to force Lehmberg to leave.
Most, however, supported the embattled DA and said she shouldn't have been publicly humiliated for her mistake.
Lehmberg pleaded guilty to DWI in April. Her blood-alcohol level was 0.239, nearly three times the legal limit for driving.
She served half of a 45-day sentence and was released early for good behavior.
Lehmberg was also fined $4,000 and had her drivers license suspended for 180 days.
She is undergoing professional treatment.

Smoked salmon sold in the United States at Costco has been recalled because of possible salmonella contamination, according to an article at Huffington Post.
Dutch company called Foppen said it only supplied the fish to CostCo Wholesale Corp. in the United States.
Huffington Post said Dutch public health officials found around 200 people who sickened in the Netherlands by a strain of the bacteria called Salmonella Thompson.
The Centers for Disease Control have recorded 85 cases of the strain in 27 states starting dating back to July 1.
A Costco representative said the smoked salmon under the Foppen and store brand Kirkland has been pulled from shelves and that any product brought to the registers will not scan.
Customers who bought the fish will be called to alert them of the recall. There will also be a followup letter.
In the lower Hudson Valley, there are Costco warehouse stores in New Rochelle, Nanuet, Port Chester and Yonkers.

The Personalized Benefits Program was created to better serve the University's diverse work force, which has different benefit needs that may be addressed under this program. The Internal Revenue Service refers to such benefit programs as "cafeteria plans" or "flexible benefit plans" because they offer choice. IRS guidelines also allow payroll deductions to be taken on a pre tax basis.
About the Summary
This is only a summary of the Personalized Benefits Program. It is not a substitute for the Summary Plan Descriptions or Plan Documents. More detailed information about specific benefit options is available through Human Resources.
Annual Open Enrollment
Open enrollment occurs in November. During this faculty and staff have the opportunity to make plan changes, add/drop dependents from their coverage and/or add a flexible spending account(s) for the upcoming year. If you change plans during open enrollment you will be given a replacement Plan Document for that policy. Any changes made during open enrollment are effective January 1st.
Reminder: Change in Status Regulations
The plans you select (medical, dental, vision, and/or flexible spending accounts) will remain in effect until December 31 unless you have a major change in status. Such changes include the following:
You must notify Human Resources within 30 days of any of the above qualifying events to be eligible to make any changes in your coverage or 60 days for your dependents and household members to be eligible for coverage continuation through COBRA.
If you or a dependent should lose coverage under the Personalized Benefits Program, you may be eligible for a continuation of benefits through COBRA. Be sure to read and become familiar with the COBRA provisions for each benefit plan. They are in the summary plan description.
Single, Dual or Family Coverage
When you choose a plan option, you may select coverage for you (single coverage), for you and one dependent (dual coverage) or for you and two or more dependents (family coverage). Dependent children are eligible for benefits until age 26 (All medical plans only), or until age 27 (for GVSU Standard PPO Plan, HDHP/HSA and Dental ), if the child is currently a full-time student in an accredited school. Your cost will depend upon the plan you select and the coverage you choose. Physically or mentally handicapped children may be covered regardless of their age. The term "children" includes your natural children, adopted children, or children placed for adoption, stepchildren who live with you, or children for whom you are the legal guardian and who live with you.
If you and your spouse work at GVSU as regular faculty or staff, both of you must enroll in a medical plan. If you choose "no coverage" under your medical plan, you must be covered on your spouse's plan and you will not receive the medical credit for waiving coverage.

Walker also wanted a good deal, and with home prices rising, she had to act quickly.
"Our real estate agent said it was a great time to buy because housing market prices were starting to go up," Walker said.
On Nov. 4, the couple closed on their one-story Jacksonville home.
"We got the house at a great deal," she said.
Housing is still affordable in Calhoun County compared to much of the rest of the state, but that cost gap has been shrinking. According to the Alabama Center for Real Estate, county housing affordability decreased more than 3 percent for the third quarter in a row this year. Some housing experts say rising prices, interest rates and demand are making area homes less affordable, indicating the housing market is steadily recovering from the Great Recession.
The center's figures show the county had an affordability index of 281.8 in the third quarter of the year, a 3.03 percent decrease from the index of 290.6 the area had in the second quarter. The second-quarter index was a 3.13 percent decrease from the index of 300 the area had in the first quarter.
The affordability index is based on a point system — the higher the score, the more affordable the housing market. An index of 100 means a family earning the state's median income has just enough buying power to qualify for a loan on the state's median-priced, single-family home. The county's score means a family earning the state's median annual income of $53,100 has more than double the buying power necessary for a median-priced, single-family home.
"It's still historically, unbelievably affordable," Everett King of ERA King Real Estate said about the local housing market.
Alabama's average housing affordability index was 206.8 while the U.S. average was 162.8 in the third quarter of the year.
Walker said her mortgage payments are quite affordable.
"The rent at my last apartment cost just as much as my monthly house payment," she said.
King said demand for housing is driving up sales prices, which is good for the real estate market but also for homeowners.
"Now people can buy and get a little normal appreciation and get a more normal return on their investment," he said. "That's not what they were getting during the recession."
U.S. Census Bureau statistics released last week show Alabama's housing market improved significantly between 2010 and 2012 compared to 2007 through 2009, the worst period of the recession for the housing industry. For instance, the statistics show the median home value for Alabama was $123,400 during the post-recession period of 2010 through 2012, a 4 percent increase from the $118,700 value of 2007 through 2009.
"It supports what we've been seeing in state surveys of the Alabama housing market," Carolyn Trent, socio-economic analyst for the Alabama Center for Business and Economic Research, said of the Census Bureau data. "Everything we've noticed coming from them shows the housing market is improving."
King said ERA King Real Estate has sold 20 percent more houses so far this year than last. In addition to higher demand, rising interest rates and decreasing foreclosures have lowered the area's housing affordability index, King said. Foreclosures flooded the housing market during the height of the recession when many people lost their jobs and could not afford their mortgages.
According to the Calhoun County Probate Office, there were 74 foreclosures during the third quarter of the year, a decrease from 90 foreclosures in the second quarter.
Chuck Ward, an agent with Billy Isom Realty in Oxford, said he's seen significant improvement in the housing market in recent months.
"Demand has increased and sales have increased in the past few months," Ward said. "I think we've seen the bottom of the local market and that's a good sign."
